WTF? 
They don't want any of our money? Too bad. I don't know why they didn't stop making the CAI's and focus on good tube fenders. I can't figure out why the aftermarket is choosing to manufacture crap that is available already (CAIs, bumpers, etc) and not making the new products that are in demand? (tube fenders, soft doors, cheap tire carrier)

Man those are nicer looking than Poison's who only make the fronts still I believe, they never make things in pairs it seems. I like these and especailly like the opening on the fronts, I could foresee doing something with a turn signal there...or just leave it be.

the deal with the tube fenders like every other company is, the factory sheet metal simply isnt strong enough to mount a steel fender like the factory.
Until they can figure out some sort of bracing, its just going to destroy the sheet metal. Alteast they didnt throw them out. Only for us owners to find out how weak the sheet metal really is.
Go grab your plastic fenders and push towards the body, it'll flex that steel without much force..
I dont think they believe the rockers will be strong enough. I keep telling everyone to call and let them know they want them. not everyone wants to drill into the bodies just yet. Mine have taken fairly hard hits, and are holding up good.

Pure Jeep posted pic's almost a year ago, teaser no fenders,
PSC on order told Feb 14, then so on then so on, order canceled, I got other ideas on fenders, for now mine are cut,
I get so tired of the unsurpressed promisses one's make and don't pull through with,
Cant anyone make a bunch before a teaser.
Think about it and the $$$ they could make and the reputation they could build too.
Just my opinion.

That is pretty dissapointing. Xenon makes some that are not stupid wide now, they first came out with some that were 1.5" wider than our stock (blah) our stockers are too wide as it is on the front...but now they have some narrow versions which I've yet to see on a JK but they are only $480ish. I'd rather metal too put whatever my stock fenders are plastic anyway.

PiginaJeep, that's a very good post about the strentgh of the sheetmetal. I guess someone very innovative could come up with some bracing on the backside of the sheetmetal for attach points. I'm sure I could come up with something very clean in that regard but I just don't have the time to fool with it. For now I guess I'll just look at Xenon's, sooner or later a company will come up with something strong.
How is Poison's on the market and not having strentgh problems with the sheetmetal? Anyone know?
